First, we have one of the most popular spots right in Sellersville. When the days get warmer, the line gets longer to get some of their delicious water ice and ice cream. Koolicks is known for its 40 water ice flavors. Molly Groff, a senior at Pennridge High School, said, “Cappuccino Chocolate Chip is my favorite because no other place has water ice that flavor.” They are also known for their 70 hand-dipped flavors, and 20 plus soft serve ice cream flavors. They serve many different kinds of sundaes and “Shakers”, comparable to “Blizzards” at Dairy Queen, which is ice cream mixed with any candy or flavoring you’d like. Come to Koolicks this summer for an enjoyable ice cream treat served in a big portion for a low price!

Another popular ice cream shop nearby is the amazing Sundae School. This ice cream place has been around for many years and is very popular for their sundaes.

Lines stay long on hot summer nights as customers wait to choose from their 68 different hand-dipped flavors. They also serve delicious milkshakes with any flavor choice.

The prices are reasonable, and if you’re ever with a group of friends walking around Doylestown make a pit stop for delicious ice cream on top of a crispy waffle!

Have you ever been to Owowcow? If not, you are seriously missing out. They are known for their homemade, natural ice cream with a variety of different flavors.

Lines were wrapping around the building on the first week of their opening, because of their rich delicious ice cream. They have many different flavors varying upon the season. With any of the flavors, you are able to make a milkshake or a sundae. A cool flavor they have on their menu is Worms and Dirt ice cream, which is very popular at their new location. This ice cream shop is one of the most delicious even though it’s a bit pricey.
